Which Rad (of these) for Low-CFM Fans?

you don't have to necessarily shake it if he doesn't feel comfortable with it. But if its attached to the case, you can tilt the whole case/radiator and it'll also help the trapped air pockets get out

Haha what? Why would I be uncomfortable shaking my rad?

Maybe you don't find that funny. I picture this guy holding a rad with a skeptical look on his face and he's nervously asking "sh-sake it?"

well if its attached to the case, meaning you have to shake the case/rad as one thing, thats kinda scary. You know HDD and all that.

Leaning it helps it alot too!

as long as your rad isn't on the top of your case or higher than your T-line/res you will have no issues with bleeding and it should be done within a couple hour's

if you've got dust in your rad just stick you hoover pipe on it
as long as you dont get to close and bend your fins
if i had rads in my pc i'd probably have them poking outside the windows
probably in some bizaare way with lond pipes

i use 125psi of compressed air and a shopvac (at the same time ) and i have yet to bend any fin's on either of my rad's

of course if you're not carefull and "poke" the rad you will bend the fin's but not to worry they are easy enough to straighten with a small flat bladed screwdriver, you can also buy a purpose built fin straightening tool from a place like princess auto or harbour freight if you feel uncomfortable using a screwdriver....

angel you can sometimes tweek the rad by doing a push pull config setup.

This allows more static though the rad and in turn means you can crank your fans down lower and still get more air.

If noise is a big concern, do a push pull config, means sandwitch the radiator on both sides with fans, and have all of them run really slow.

And the MCR320 is a great radiator... Im running 2 of them stacked together for my gpu cards.

So if you ever need more radiator, this option is always available.
